beetles Gel Polish 5 In 1 Nail Glue Kit for Acrylic Nails,2 Pcs 15ml Super Strong Brush in Nail Gel Glue for False Nails Tips and Gel Nail Polish Led Lamp Required Nail Art Gift

I bought these as part of getting started on doing Gel x nails at home. I like coffin shape, but the coffin mediums are just a little too long for me and the coffin short are not quite long enough. My hope was that I could use the almond medium and snip off the tip to get something like coffin or ballerina. That worked pretty well. Many reviews led me to believe that I needed to spend the money on the Apres brand gel tips, but these worked great for 1/3 the price.I didn't spend much time on my polish or bother with any art because this is my first set done at home and I'm sure they won't last very long. So please excuse my very pink and not very precise polish. I needed to dive in, make the mistakes, and learn. And I did. Start to finish only took about an hour and half. Some are on slightly crooked, almost all have air bubbles particularly around the cuticle. This was actually easier than I thought it would be. I learned that my flash cure device needs to have a motion sensor. It takes both hands to place the nail perfectly over my natural nail and hold it in place while it flash cures. My flash cure device requires a button push in order to light up. I could have done a much higher quality job if I had a third hand, or didn't have to push that button to flash cure. So I'll be replacing that little device.As part of making this doable for me, I used a peel off gel base coat on my natural nails under this mani. I love the gel x nails but the removal process is a nightmare--dealbreaker for home manicures. Acetone destroys my skin and my natural nails so after a while they break easily with even a good regular gel mani. The salon price to pay for a full set of gel x and then the maintenance protocol is way more than I want to spend on my nails. So I've watched a lot of videos on how to do this at home, and in that process I found peel off gel base and learned why people use it. The purpose is to make the removal process much easier and gentler. It's not quite as "peel off" as the name implies so this is not necessarily for one-night nails. My nails are likely to last days to even a couple of weeks but instead of filling in, drilling off and changing the polish, etc., I will remove them without acetone and drilling and just apply a new set. You still need a remover with the peel off base. You typically have to buy or make that separately. I noticed people who don't use a remover give the peel off base bad reviews. Jello Jello peel off base comes with remover. Really all that's needed is some warm soapy water, some cuticle oil, and an orange wood stick. You apply a few drops of a remover around the edges of your nails, or soak them in warm soapy water for about 5 minutes. That loosens the peel off gel base enough to allow the nails to pop off since it is what is covering your natural nail. There is still some basic work involved, but if done correctly there should be virtually no damage to my natural nails. It seems the better you prep your bare nails, the longer the peel off base lasts before your nails start to lift or pop off. Some who did normal gel mani nail prep said even at 2 weeks they were still holding on pretty well. So if you only want a day or two, don't prep your nails.I love these gel nails so far and will buy them again. I found a size to fit all of my nail plates without much filing on the sides. They're comfortable and look nice. They feel strong so I'm not concerned about cracks. I didn't prep the gel nails after I applied them. Most video makers recommend that. I just did a regular gel base coat, two coats of polish, and a top coat. It's been 4 days, I type a lot every day, and my polish isn't peeling or chipping at all. Recommended.

The sturdiness of this nail is like none I have ever seen before and I work in a warehouse so these have lasted a week and a half. the shape of them is perfect hand to sharpen the shape very lightly but its amazing so far as shape and length. they are very thick not too much but perfect for it to look like a fresh set out the salon. they are fairly easy to remove with the right product.

This gel glue kit is fantastic! It’s super easy to use and works really well for creating a smooth, lasting manicure. The gel consistency is perfect—not too thick or thin—and it adheres strongly without being overly sticky. I love how versatile it is, combining multiple steps into one product. It’s also very comfortable to wear, with no irritation or discomfort. The finish lasts a long time, and I haven’t had any issues with chipping or lifting. Overall, I’m really happy with the results and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality, and comfortable gel glue!

These nails are much thinner and more flexible than other off-brand nails I've bought. That works out great because my nails seem to be more flat than curved and these formed to them and stuck better. They did, however, come with little tabs on the pointy part of each nail. Like they had not been cut well from the mold they were made from. I buy lots of nails and this is not normal. It added the extra step of trimming and filing off that little tab from each nail.

These are super durable. I’m a mom of two so my nails go through It all! They are obviously clear so if your natural nails aren’t looking the best before application, you will see them through the nail. I will definitely purchase these again.

I just started doing gel x nails and this nail glue is the best I have ever came across. It lasts over 4 weeks and the retention is great. Nail prep is key to letting this nail glue last

They are very strong tips and are of pretty good quality. They are a nice thickness, not too thin like some alternatives, but also may need to use a builder gel if you want that thicker acrylic look to them. I use them to create press-ons using gel since I am allergic. I haven't had a reaction to any of my gels since doing this, so if you are hoping to continue using your gels with an allergy, it isn't a bad idea!

This is a good budget for people trying to get into gel x, however it’s not the best investment. Me personally, I prep the crap out of my nails and tips but they still pop off within the week. This gel is super easy to use, but with more budget gels, you have lower quality “adhesives” I’d definitely look for gels that are a better long term solution because you either use more of the cheaper gel more often vs less of the more expensive for longer lasting results.
